Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Strangers and Pilgrims: A Novel
There were pigeons cooing and boop-boop-hooping among the moss-grown corbels of the tower; a blackbird in a wicker cage hanging outside one of the narrow windows; a Skylark in a little green wooden box decorating another. The garden where the roses and carnations ?ourished had somewhat of a neglected look, not weedy or forlorn, only a little unkempt and over-luxu riant, like a garden to which the hireling gardener comes once a week, or which is left to the charge of a single outdoor labourer, who has horses and pigs upon his mind, nay perhaps also the daily distraction of indoor duties, in the boot-and knife-cleaning way.
